It began with the legendary BMW ALPINA 3.0 CSL lightweight Coupé in the early 1970s, a car that caused a great furore, both as a race car and a road car. It was with this car that ALPINA won the European Touring Car Championship in 1973 and 1977. Since it débuted in 1978, friends of BMW 6 Series Coupés have awarded the 300 horsepower BMW ALPINA B7 Turbo Coupé – 330hp/512Nm-strong in the S-Version – cult status, making it a desired collector’s car. The elegant BMW 8 Series was the basis for the BMW ALPINA B12 5.7 Coupé, noticeable at a glance due to its carbon-fibre bonnet with NACA ducts. And with its top speed of 186mph, ALPINA was a leader in this regard, as well The maxim then as now was to offer performance on the level of exotic sports cars, coupled with high quality and the everyday “useability” only available from a volume manufacturer – such as BMW – on whose excellent basis we deliver GRAND TOURERS... FFIRSTI R S T CCLASS...L A S S . The BMW ALPINA B6 Coupé, yet another true Grand Tourisme, is a long-distance automobile par excellence. It is amply powered by 500 horsepower and 700Nm. The V8’s beguiling sound and opulent torque beg one to drive in a completely relaxed manner, any and all red-line orgies far afield, with more torque at tickover than most cars have in total.

  • Modeling and Control of an Electrically-Heated Catalyst
    Modeling and Control of an Electrically-Heated Catalyst Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Beth Ann Bezaire, B.S. Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Dr. Shawn Midlam-Mohler, Co-Advisor Dr. Giorgio Rizzoni, Co-Advisor Dr. Yann Guezennec Copyright by Beth Ann Bezaire 2011 ABSTRACT Current model-based design research on automotive catalytic converters mainly fall into three basic categories: either modeling the catalyst as a continuous system based on physics, discretizing the system to reduce modeling complexity, or developing a highly- simplified, mean-value model for control. Continuous models are computationally intensive and therefore not well-suited for implementation into a vehicle model for Hardware in the Loop or control design. Highly-simplified models are calibrated for a particular system without incorporating the governing physical laws into the model, and mean-value models are only able to predict the response for a single lumped element. Although a simplified, mean-value model can be developed to accurately predict system response, it does not lend itself to being extended to broader applications without significant re-calibration efforts. Therefore, a model is needed that can account for the physics of the system so it can be extended to further applications while decreasing computation time to allow the model to be implemented for Hardware in the Loop and vehicle control design. This research investigates the development of such a model to predict automotive catalytic converter thermal response during warm-up.

  • The New Bmw Alpina B6 S Coupé and Cabrio Design Meets Performance
    THE NEW BMW ALPINA B6 S COUPÉ AND CABRIO DESIGN MEETS PERFORMANCE MANUFACTURER OF EXCLUSIVE AUTOMOBILES 88 04 212 - 0907 Printed in Germany 0.25 © ALPINA 88 04 212 - 0907 Printed in Germany 0.25 © Grand Tourers have a long tradition at ALPINA. It began with the legendary BMW ALPINA 3,0 CSL lightweight Coupé in the early 1970s, a car that caused a great furore, both as a race car and as a street car. It was with this car that ALPINA won the European Touring Car Championship in 1973 and 1977. Since it débuted in 1978, friends of BMW 6 Series Coupés have awarded the 300 bhp BMW ALPINA B7 Turbo Coupé (with 330 bhp / 512 Nm in the S-Version) cult status, making it a desired collector’s car. The elegant BMW 8 Series was the basis for the BMW ALPINA B12 5,7 Coupé, identifiable at a glance thanks to its carbon-fibre bonnet with NACA ducts. This is how and where Buchloe’s newest creation, the BMW ALPINA B6 S, ties in. The eye immediately focuses on the new bonnet. Gently rising from the bonnet’s front edge to the windscreen, the elevated centre channel visually awards the front and indeed the entire automobile, added length. Halfway up, two vertical air outlets are harmoniously integrated, air exiting precisely from under the bonnet through stainless steel latticework – much like in racing. The flowing lines of the B6 S bonnet impart both power and elegance. In technical terms, the lightweight (just under 10kg) composite construction is a tour de force.
